Seedys bad day - long and depressing
Been on holiday for the wettest 2 weeks of the year (or so it seems)
 Last day of my holiday The sun was out this morning so - go for a ride  But theres some shopping to be done first So ride over to BSE (local town) and meet wife and daughter there Spend loads of money Wife and daugher go home in car Set off for ride on bike Bike wont start Battery seems Flat Never mind - bump it down the hill But it still wont start Call the AA  They arrive in 15 mins Bike starts immediatly from a jump The battery charges Run it fo 5 mins Turn the engine off Watch it discharge before my eyes Diagnosis - Dead battery Jump start it again Off to the nearest dealers (Bowers) to buy a new battery  Pull up outside DROP THE BIKE  Pick it up  Go buy battery - £56.00 Wait 3 Hrs for battery to be charged and fitted  Go home  Find out that the 159 mph cop has been found guilty of dangerous driving :P But has been given an absolute discharge  WTF!

Is this where I make your day worse and say it might not have been the battery?
I had this with mine, replaced battery and was fine for about a week, then it died again. Due to the rectifier not charging the battery up. Hope its just the battery but if you start having problems again within a week Id say it would be the rectifier. :P Hope not much damage from the drop too. |
